Consultant recommendations for adoption of accounting software packages are constrained by large startup costs for the business and exposes the business to a number of risks. Considerable client time and effort result from software conversions and override even the most pressing need for change. Such changes are likely in the modern environment of rapidly changing technology, constant development of competing products offering substantial improvement and capabilities, and the natural growth of companies who expand beyond their present accounting software. It is useful to know what conversions, and import/export options may be available. This paper presents some initial discussion of the features available for a number of 'low-end' accounting packages that allow some of the work of conversion to be assisted by such software solutions.
